The present disclosure is directed to augmented reality navigation systems and methods of their use that, inter alia, address the need for systems and methods of robotic surgical system navigation with reduced distraction to surgeons. Augmented reality navigation systems disclosed herein enable a surgeon to maintain focus on a surgical site and/or surgical tool being used in a surgical procedure while obtaining a wide range of navigational information relevant to the procedure. Navigational information can appear in the augmented reality navigation system as being presented on virtual displays that sit in a natural field of view of a surgeon during a procedure. Navigational information can also appear to be overlaid over a patient's anatomy. Augmented reality navigation systems comprise a head mounted display comprising an at least partially transparent display screen, at least one detector connected to the head mounted display for identifying real-world features, and a computer subsystem.

Augmented reality navigation systems for use with robotic surgical systems and methods of their use

A surgical system including a XR headset, a tracking system, and an XR headset controller. The XR headset can be worn by a user during a surgical procedure and includes a see-through display screen configured to display a world-registered XR image and to allow at least a portion of a real-world scene to pass therethrough for viewing by the user. The tracking system can determine a real-world pose of the XR headset and a real-world pose of a real-world element. The real-world pose of the XR headset and the real-world pose of the real-world element being determined relative to a real-world coordinate system. The XR headset controller can generate the world-registered XR image based on the real-world pose of the XR headset and the real-world pose of the real-world element. The world-registered XR image includes a virtual element that is generated based on a characteristic of the real-world element.

Extended reality instrument interaction zone for navigated robotic

A surgical robot positions an end effector that guides movement of a surgical tool during a surgical procedure on a patient anatomical structure. A tracking system determines a pose of the anatomical structure and a pose of the end effector and/or the surgical tool. A navigation controller determines a target pose for the surgical tool based on a surgical plan and based on the pose of the anatomical structure, and generates steering information based on the target pose for the surgical tool, the pose of the anatomical structure, and the pose of the surgical tool and/or the end effector. The steering information indicates where the surgical tool and/or the end effector need to be moved. An AR headset controller receives the steering information from the navigation controller and displays a graphical representation of the steering information and/or the target pose for the surgical tool on a see-through display screen.

Augmented reality headset for navigated robotic surgery

Described herein are systems and methods for locating an object detected in a video. The system detects a bounding box at least partially around an object in a first frame at a first time in the video and a second frame in the video corresponding to a second time. The system determines whether there is no motion within the bounding box of the second frame. The system compares edge information, or color information, or intensity information associated with one or more pixels in the first frame, to edge information, or color information, or intensity information associated with one or more pixels within the bounding box. The system generates a score based on the comparison. The system further determines based on the score if the object is present in the second frame. The system also determines an estimated timeframe window of a first appearance of the object.

Forensic video exploitation and analysis tools

Cyclical pixel-based remapping techniques are disclosed for efficiently creating and displaying a video summary. Cyclical temporal remapping at the pixel level requires less processing power and eliminates the need for object identification and tracking, allowing for dynamic adjustment of summary video parameters while a user is viewing the summary video. An operator can select an archived camera feeds or video file, specify a time compression ratio or time interval over which to review video content, specify a motion sensitivity threshold, and then view a significantly condensed summary video that depicts all activity from the source video within a much shorter timeline. Furthermore, activity co-occurrence is preserved such that any activities that co-occur in the source video will also co-occur in the summary video.
